Apologies, I've had this review done for a little while now, but a few
distractions prevented me from uploading it.
I left a few notes in so that you could see what I was thinking on some
of my edits. I discovered something with this document that brought me
to a couple questions of style.
First, the use of italics for naming dialog windows was implemented in
some places but not others. I went ahead and italicized the other
places, but I didn't see anything in the Style Guide about whether this
was a preferred method or not. I'd be curious to know what your
thoughts are on this for future revisions or documents that I'm working on.
I also made a few changes to some wording that I thought sounded a
little odd. This may be a matter of personal preference though, and not
really specific to grammar. What was hitting me odd was the use of "in"
or "on" when discussing a "dialog" or "page." In some cases, the
wording was "in the page" or "on the dialog" which sounded a little
strange to me. I realize that what is meant is "dialog box" but making
"dialog" as the object of the sentence just felt bizarre. That may be
that my thinking of "dialog" with the more traditional definition, as a
discussion between two or more people instead of a user interface
component for software, got in the way. So what I suggested were a few
changes that went more along the lines of "in the dialog" and "on the
page," but only where "page" or "dialog" were the object of the
sentence. In other cases, where it was something like "in the dialog
box," still made sense to me, so I left them alone. Again, this may
just be a matter of personal style for what sounds right to me, so you
can ignore those suggestions if you like.
In regards to content, I added a bit about the options split for OOo
Writer and OOo Writer/Web documents. Since the options are essentially
identical for the two areas, I just referenced the previous section in
the chapter for detailed discussion on the settings available.
The ToC is fixed (thanks Jean for your help on that), and I removed a
reference or two that I felt seemed a little unnecessary.
